Few English words used only by Indians
1. Good name
When Indians meet strangers, why do they ask the question, 'What's you good name?' Every parent or grandparent who has named the child does it with a good intention. So, there's nothing bad about a name. The next time you meet a stranger, you could say, "what's your name?"
2. Revert back
Now, this one's tricky! Because that's what you have been writing in e-mails, haven't you? According to The Free Dictionary, 'revert' means 'to reply to someone'. Why use 'revert back' when you can just say 'revert'?
3. Rubber
In India, the 'eraser' is also called a 'rubber'! But, in the rest of the world, 'rubber' is a slang for 'condom'. Now it makes sense why your relatives and friends in foreign countries complain that people there burst out laughing when they ask for a 'rubber' instead of an 'eraser'.
4. Pass out
How is it that every Indian graduating from a college is passing out? Confused? Let's tell you the difference. When you are really drunk and become unconscious, you 'pass out'. But, when you refer to the successful completion of a course or training, you use the word 'graduate'.
